I love having a garbage unit, but what I don’t love are those garbage disposal unit smells. But luckily for both of us, I know how to fix it!

Freshen up that garbage disposal

It’s really easy to have your garbage disposal smelling fresh again, and you can even sharpen up those blades at the same time. Better still you probably have all the ‘ingredients’ to hand already. And we’re not going to use bleach!

Here’s what you need:

Baking Soda – about a cup full

White Vinegar – again about a cup full

Orange Peels or Ice Cubes

Lemon Essential Oil – a couple of drops

Here’s what to do:

1. Drop the orange peels down first, they’ll help to sharpen up the blades. My kiddos LOVE clementines so we always have more peel than we know what to do with. If you don’t have any to hand don’t worry just use ice cubes instead, or even rock salt.
